With this and all the shit the Supreme Court is ruling on while they can hide behind the debate coverage, it's not looking good for the country.

Legit why once I finish this degree I’m moving abroad. Tried it out with a semester abroad (note: I’m almost 30 but in grad school). Loved it. First world nation. My GF is over there and had considered coming to America. But when we saw how well Trump was doing in the polls…

The fact he has even 10% support, not to mention how much he has, made us decide we didn’t want to be here. Too many racists, too many fascists. So finish up, accept the job abroad, and likely not come back.

Spent near 30 years here and actively campaigned for DNC but it’s just not feasible to remain.

Feel blessed that you have this option. Any time I see people saying this, it's usually always followed up by "yeah I'm a dual citizen or I'm married to one". Which is great, however I think people glance at this stuff and think that it's something your standard American has the option to do.

If you don't specialize in a skill desired in a foreign country or have familial connection there... You probably aren't gonna get to Expat, as romantic of a thought as it might be.

Yeah I’m getting in due to a specialized skill. Worked in my younger youth to afford college, went to law school, opens alot of doors. The country we’re going to first is neither of our home nations.

Had to work through law school too but it was worth it!
